Science Kids: States of Matter

The video explores the fascinating properties of water, focusing on its ability to exist in three states: solid, liquid, and gas. It explains physical changes, such as freezing and melting, and introduces the concept of reversible and irreversible changes. The video also differentiates between physical and chemical changes, using everyday examples to illustrate these concepts.

What happens to water when it is heated?

• It turns into ice

• It forms snowflakes

• It condenses

• It becomes a gas

Which of the following is a solid form of water?

• Ice

• Vapor

• Steam

• Rain

What is the main characteristic of a physical change?

• It alters the molecular structure

• It creates a new substance

• It changes the state of matter without changing the chemical composition

• It is always irreversible

How do molecules behave in a solid state?

• They are invisible

• They are tightly packed

• They move freely

• They are loosely connected

What is an example of a reversible physical change?

• Burning wood

• Melting ice

• Rusting iron

• Cooking an egg

What defines an irreversible change?

• It can be undone

• It is temporary

• It permanently alters the substance

• It is always physical

Which process is an example of a chemical change?

• Melting butter

• Boiling water

• Freezing juice

What happens to molecules during a chemical change?

• They evaporate

• They become visible

• They form new bonds

• They remain the same

Which of these is a physical change?
